The standard each lesson is connected to in the WASSCE 2016 syllabi used in Sierra Leone are provided here.
Remember,
- NEVER hesitate to take one of the lesson plans and make changes that suit your own needs or situation.
- NEVER doubt yourself if you want to try and develop you own experiment or project, or go after and try to solve some local problem that may be science-based!
- Mass of the earth using a pendulum
- Meteor shower observations and discussions
- Scaling the relative sizes of planets
- Scaling the size of the solar system
More generally:
Encourage students to write poems, stories, songs, short plays, or debates about any astronomy topic or issue that is astronomy related! It is a wonderful way to build up writing and creative skills, in addition to new ways of learning the topic. Often, students better remember and learn a topic than through traditional methods, such as when a catchy song is better remembered than paragraphs from a textbook.
